This thread seems to be about the Citizens United ruling that happened during the George W. Bush administration. He nominated 2 justices, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito. Congress confirmed them. There were 7 other

How many justices did President Bush specifically nominate that were subsequently confirmed by Congress? Unless it was 5 or more, I fail to see the connection the original post of this thread was trying to make. EDIT: typo 4 -> 5

My comment never said otherwise. I just feel that it needs to be said that it is incorrect and inappropriate to blame the composition or the rulings of SCOTUS on a specific President. The government was intentionally designed to prevent t

I dipped my toes in the water with literally the cheapest M1 I could buy…the base model Mac Mini was on sale for $499 so I sort of impulse bought it to see if it could replace my PC. I was blown away by the performance of this tiny little

Please take the time to learn about the basics of how our government operates. It’s not Bush’s Supreme Court. The President does not directly control the process of appointing Supreme Court justices. They merely nominate them and Congres

I really hope Microsoft can turn things around. A Sony monopoly would be terrible for console gaming. No matter what your feelings about Microsoft are, there really isn't anyone else that is likely to be able to compete with Sony at

There's a double tap gesture on the second gen (and newer I think) version of the Apple Pencil that switches between the eraser and whatever tool you're using. I find this to be much more efficient and ergonomic than having to tu

To be honest, I like my RPGs dumb and casual. Real life uses enough of my brain power and I’m trying to escape.

It’s nice graphics, but it’s also voice acting, and robust storytelling that sets a good AAA game apart from indie games for me. Honestly even some of the indie games are getting pretty incredible graphics these days thanks to Unreal Engine

Spot on. I want Elder Scrolls 6 to basically be Skyrim in a stunning new location, with better graphics. Ditto for Forza Horizon 6 and the next installment of The Witcher.

You can't currently buy (or I think even legally drive on public roads?) Chinese EVs in the United States and many other countries. I'm also not interested in FSD. I am personally uncomfortable with the safety of this technology

Porsche, Audi, and Polestar are also way more expensive than a Tesla Model 3, so they should be nicer!

I'm personally shocked at all the negativity in the comments so far about this. As someone who is terrible at creating graphics, I love the breadth of what is available in Unicode. Plus, these Unicode graphics allow for creative, beau

Are you talking about used Teslas for the price of new Corollas, or is there somewhere that people are selling identical model years of each for comparable prices?

What do you like so much about the Hyundais? Plugin hybrids are something I'm considering as well.

A lot of people truly underestimate the distance between towns in some rural areas of America. Another major issue is that rural areas are frequently subject to extended weather related power outages that can last days or even weeks.

Are there companies that are making better electric cars than Tesla? I'm genuinely curious. The vast majority of electrics I see in my city are Teslas with a small sprinkling of Hyundais and Mustang Mach-Es thrown in. I don't se

I think we’re seeing market saturation at work. I suspect that most of the people that want, can afford, and are able to make an EV work for their needs already own them. The truth is EVs are still more expensive than ICE vehicles, have si

Most people don't realize that Android was originally intended to be a BlackberryOS clone, but was pivoted to compete with iOS at the last minute instead. Once you understand that, a lot of the design decisions start making a lot more

I’ve been on T-Mobile since the Sprint merger and been mostly happy with them. My biggest complaint is that they don’t seem to take security as seriously as they should. They’ve developed a reputation for frequent security breaches. I’m no

In this case the last E is Evolve. Xamarin got refactored and renamed to Maui.

Respecting platform conventions is the sensible default, particularly for a platform that represents over 80% of desktop marketshare. This problem used to be a whole lot worse under pre-OS X versions of macOS that used CR (just CR, no LF) a

Your memory is correct, that was the case when they first released the DOS source code to the Computer History Museum, but they have since relicensed all open source releases of DOS under the MIT license.

Yes, the purpose of the IRS is revenue collection via federal income tax for funding the government with. Said funding can then be given to the agencies and organizations I mentioned in my previous comment. Simplified tax code means less t

I would propose that we enact a graduated income tax system starting at 0% for the economically disadvantaged. It is not the job of the tax code to do anything else for them. We already have a plethora of state, federal, and non-profit ag

I understand the noble intent behind much of the tax code, but it has grown into a gnarly beast full of loopholes for the rich, and the wrong kind of societal incentives for the poor.

The real issue is that taxes are unreasonably and unnecessarily complicated to allow politicians to pander to specific voting blocks (both rich and poor) at the expense of the middle class. There is no reason every legitimate employer can&#
